Album Review
The Devlins showcase their smooth Irish brogue on their debut album Drift, and without the heavy guitars and lyrical imagery made famous by their Irish counterparts (U2, the Cranberries). Taking note from their influences such as Talk Talk and the Blue Nile, Peter and Colin Devlin go for a grainy simplicity similar to Mike Scott and the Waterboys. The result is earthy in composition, and nothing outstanding in the sense of perfecting an anthem or epic song. Album opener "I Knew That" is a decent introduction for Drift; echoing guitars and breezy acoustics set the album's overall tone and emotional outlooks. "Everytime You Go" and "Almost Made You Smile" are hauntingly similar to the earnest vocals of Daniel Lanois, but what's most inviting about the Devlins is how they keep it basic. No major production or standout singles are found; hushing vocals carry the entire 11-song set list and make Drift an ethereal beauty.
Customer Reviews
Exceptional...
Has it really been 17 years since this album was released? Well, it holds up against the test of time spectacularly. I could easily imagine any one of these songs being played on current radio. I hear a lot of bands that wish they could sound like this, in fact; and one wonders if they were inspired by The Devlins? This is a fantastic album from start to finish, and the lyrics are as beautiful as the music. Need proof? "Until the Light Shines Through" will make you smile -- I promise.

Outstandingly beautiful! It should have replaced the "Just the way you are" song that played during prom!
